The Industrial Injuries Scheme (IIS) is made up of a number of benefits providing tax free, non-contributory, no fault compensation to employed earners for injury arising from an industrial accident, or from specified occupationally caused diseases. Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB) is the main benefit in the scheme.<\/p>
<\/p>
Around 290,000 people are in receipt of IIDB alone. It can be paid in addition to any other social security benefits a person may receive, although it will be taken into account as income for income related benefits. A range of other benefits can be paid under the umbrella of the IIS to assist workers left with long-term injuries, most of which can be paid in addition to IIDB, these include: Reduced Earnings Allowance (REA), Constant Attendance Allowance (CAA) and Exceptionally Severe Disablement Allowance (ESDA).<\/p>
<\/p>
There are currently no plans to alter the scheme criteria, but we continue to look at all opportunities that could potentially improve support for those people who have injuries or contract diseases in the workplace. We also continue to review our internal processes to ensure they deliver an efficient and effective service to claimants.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4071", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sarah Newton"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Truro and Falmouth"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Sarah Newton"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-04-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-04-26T08:52:48.027Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-04-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether her Department plans to alter the criteria for industrial injuries disablement benefit so that more workers left with long-term injuries at work are able to receive payments; and if she will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4243", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dan Jarvis"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Barnsley Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Dan Jarvis"} ], "uin" : "137127"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/890079", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/890079/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
Not all children have easy access to green spaces and the Government is taking action to address this.<\/p>
<\/p>
Spending time in nature during school can encourage children to have a relationship with the outdoors and the new science and geography curriculum and qualifications encourage pupils to undertake fieldwork as part of their course of study.<\/p>
<\/p>
In the 25 Year Environment Plan, £10 million has been committed over the next five years to programmes that will connect pupils in the most disadvantaged areas with nature. This includes ensuring that schools, special schools and alternative provision institutions in the most disadvantaged areas will be offered support to establish a programme of visits to natural spaces, such as city farms, local nature reserves or Nationals Parks. This programme will be open to schools from autumn 2019. The Government will also support these settings with funding to transform their school grounds and to design and run activities to support pupils' health and wellbeing through contact with nature.<\/p>
